Hummm...do county elections departments “talk” to each other? I plan on “cancelling” my registration with my local county when I eventually move out of “Kali”....did your hubby cancel his Maine registration after moving? Or do most counties “cancel” you after you don’t vote in “x number” of elections?
Mandatory vote-by-mail will generate millions of bogus ballots floating around out there....and when returned the signature is checked for validity ONLY IF someone disputes the ballot (at least in my CA county). “Ballot Harvesting” bonanza!
I don't know if they talk state to state. I know from working elections in Texas that the Tx Sec of State removes names from old precincts when you move to a new precinct. But I have seen errors, tho not many.
did your hubby cancel his Maine registration after moving?
He didn't cancel. He just registered in Texas. In 1991. But also, the city that sent him the absentee ballot request was a city he never lived in. So they never should have had his name to begin with. How did they get his name? And even bigger, his name matched with our current address 2000 miles away?

you are correct. This is so messed up.
and in my 20 years working elections I thought our biggest problem was getting dead people off the rolls.
